A Dictionary of Law

Lat. An vath. Jusjurandum inter alios factum nec nocere nec prodesse debet. An oath mads between others ought neither to hurt nor protit.

4 Inst. 279.

671 JUSTA CAUSA > “The words ‘just’ and ‘justly’ do not al Ways Mean ‘just’ and ‘justly’ in a moral sense, but they not unfrequently, in their connection with other words in a sentence, bear a very different signification. Itis evident, however, that the word ‘just’ in the statute [requiring an affidavit for an attachment to state that plaintitt’s claim is just] means ‘just’ in a moral sense; and from its isolation, being made 4 separate subdivision of the section, it is intended to mean ‘ morally just in the most emphutic terms. The claim must be morally just, as well as legally just, in order to entitle a party to an attachment.”

5 Kan. 3U0.
